CNN —The Mexican navy has seized almost 10 tons of liquid methamphetamine hidden in 11,520 bottles of tequila intended for export, it said in a statement on Monday.
Already this year, the navy has seized and destroyed approximately 114 tons of meth, its statement noted.
It is not the first time that authorities have seized meth hidden in creative ways.
Australian border officials found $1 million worth of liquid meth inside snow globes in 2019.
Meanwhile, US border officials found about $266,000 worth of liquid meth inside the gas tank of a truck in 2020.
